Much interest is attached to the betrothal of H.R.H. Princess Alexandra to the hereditary Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg. The Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha is still most generally remembered as Duke of Edinburgh, and his daughters have remained English princesses in English esteem. Her Royal Highness is only seventeen years of age, and it was but last season that she was presented.

The Prince, who is the grandson of the Queen's half-sister, Princess Feodore of Leiningen, belongs to a race of much distinction and large estates in Germany. The present head of the house is Prince Hermann zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg, the Governor of Alsace-Lorraine. He married a Princess of Baden in 1863 the Hereditary Prince was born. Prince Ernest has seen a good deal of life in England, for he has been successively attaché and secretary at the German Embassy in London. During this period of his life he was a constant visitor at Clarence House, then the chief residence of the Duke of Edinburgh. The Prince is a lieutenant in the Prussian army, and is also Imperial German Secretary of Legation. He is considered a worthy son of a house which has long been conspicuous for rank and intellectual accomplishment alike.
